Good day, Ralf!
I've (finally) made it through two implicit rules, but i have a problem there.
The makefile looks something like that:
------------------------
.SUFFIXES: .pc .lo .c
.pc.c:
cp $< $@
.c.lo:
cp $< $@
------------------------
Given that i have no .c and no .lo before invoking make, it works good
with gmake and aix make.
While on HP-UX it doesn't:
--- skipped some lines of setting vars ---
Reading Makefile
doname(a.lo,0)
TIME(a.lo)=0
setvar: @ = a.lo noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: @ = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
look for explicit deps. 0
look for implicit rules. 0
right match = a.lo
setvar: @ = a.lo noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: ? = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
predecessor list: $! = a.lo
right match = a.lo
setvar: @ = a.lo noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: ? = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
predecessor list: $! = a.lo
Make: Don't know how to make a.lo. Stop.
--------------------------------------
If .c file is present, it works:

doname(a.lo,0)
TIME(a.lo)=0
setvar: @ = a.lo noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001

setvar: @ = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001

right match = a.pc
setvar: < = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: * = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
TIME(a.pc)=1294756730
setvar: * = a noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: < = a.pc noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: < = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: * = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
TIME(a.c)=1294757269
setvar: * = a noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: < = a.c noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: @ = a.lo noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
setvar: ? = a.c noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001
predecessor list: $! = a.lo
cp a.c a.lo
nenv = 34
setvar: @ = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001

setvar: < = noreset = 0 envflg = 0 Mflags = 040001

-------------------------------------
Maybe You know a way to do it right?
